Sisco (6’1 – 212 lbs) returns to the Riders for his third CFL season. The Regina native dressed in the Riders first seven regular season games last year before an injury forced him to miss the remainder of the season. Sisco finished last year with seven catches for 103 yards.

Brown and Black are good signings. Like the Brown signing better than the Anderson one.
Looks like the other 7 teams in the CFL were as disappointed in Sisco as the fans in Rider Nation have been. He’ll stick around and get another chance for 1 more year if the Riders choose not to draft a wr in the draft.
With Brown and Anderson here, good riddance to McKenzie. Go to Hamilton and get burned with Nick Graham on a game-by-game basis.

I hope the offer to Sisco wasn't anything outlandish. The guy has no idea how good he could be.
The Sisco signing sickens me!
Why the hate for Sisco? The kid can play if given a chance. If Getzlaf can be an impact player so can Sisco.
I've said it before and I'll say it again if Sisco was an american he would have been cut 2 seasons ago.
Getzlaf was a Major disappointment last year, why have Sisco follow in his shoes ?
